I was in IT support for about a decade and now I cannot make anything work that does not have an excellent Internet connection. No Broadband until Friday and so far I have failed to make the TV work with coax and freeview and my printer won't work with a USB cable. I might just sleep until Friday.

How a simple oversight in legislation is costing the economy over £10bn a year, crippling businesses, and forcing nearly 1m unpaid carers into poverty
